The AMDIL portion of the code (basically any file with an AMDIL prefix
plus the macrod* files) is currently licensed under the "3-clause BSD"
license with an addition clause for complying with export laws.  I need
to get some more information from our legal team about the export law
clause before I discuss it further, but I'm hoping it's something we can
work out.

The non-AMDIL portion of the code is still licensed under the MIT
license and has that license included in the file.
